You made me smile tonight. And I just might pray too :pJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149048192796015117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-37036587884676878672008-04-14T22:34:00.000+00:002008-04-14T22:34:00.000+00:00your h's website is amazing.

But then I think about how I am with my own children. How I want them to bring me their pain, their worries, their joys, their love and their lives. I remember that He cares for us even more than we care for our own children. I picture that prodigal son picture of Him with His arms out awaiting our return from our mistakes or our own "trying to do it ourselves" and how He celebrates the desire of our hearts to lean on Him. <BR/>You weren't being selfish to have that time. Sometimes we need to be in community with other people your age. We can't pour all of ourselves without refilling our souls with what need. Serving is so important but remember that its okay to be served. <BR/>Hugs to you friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-40680688614199559772008-04-14T13:32:00.000+00:002008-04-14T13:32:00.000+00:00PS I just spent some time perusing H's website.

You are so filled with love for Sophie, even through her poor choices and bad behavior. You let her make her own decisions and deal with the consequences, while offering a listening ear and open arms. Heavenly Father won't make our choices for us, but he's there when we falter, isn't he?<BR/><BR/>M. made an interesting comment yesterday. He grows ever so weary of the kids' badgering that sometimes he just gives in. He wondered if Heavenly Father ever feels like that. Though He knows what's truly best, we beg and beg for the things we want until He relents, almost saying, "I tried to tell you...."<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your prayers. I need to do better in that area, too.

Moments where I go to church, I feel good, I love life and God. And then I get into this funk where I really don't want to put forth any effort at all. I'm in one of those funks right now. It was nice to read I'm not alone. You're post was very uplifting! Thank you.KatBouskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556451375792958743noreply@blogger.com
